Oh darling, let's be adventurers.

Comfort with a kick

Frigid temps are for the birds. Thankfully, we have comfort food to help assuage the painful fact that we do not all possess the means to fly south for the winter.

You know, when you think of it, comfort food is kinda mamby-pamby. There are times when it’s almost too comforting–because, let’s face it, there are days when you need something that will fight back … something to put hair on your chest … something that will make you stand up and shout, “Whoa–got a seed!”

Lucky for you, I have just the thing…

It’s a ham, cheese, and jalapeno quiche. Remember this? The very one–though you’ll be glad to know I’ve since learned a few things. For starters, it would behoove you to use a deep dish with this puppy. As with anything I attempt to make, it’s easy, but prep takes a bit of time. I’ve started preparing the ingredients ahead of time; then I only have to dump and bake (okay, that came out totally wrong–but you know what I mean). Not into heat that makes you beg for mercy? Try using a jar of Nacho Jalapenos. You can totally spot the evil suckers; and once you take out the seeds, they’re as calm as Sunday afternoon. Mostly. AND it takes longer to bake … but I’m thinking that may just be my oven. Sigh.

No need to be scared Maddy–just use a jar of Nacho Jalapenos. You can spot the ones that will be hotter. Simply ignore those–then you just have to be sure and get all those pesky seeds. It's really not as spicy as it looks. Unless, of course, you miss a seed or two. Yikes! 🙂

Actually, I should have added that little tidbit the first time around; thanks for reminding me …

Greetings & salutations

Just in case you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into, my blog's a lot like life: it's a hodge-podge. So pour yourself a steaming cup of goodness, settle in, and I'll tell you all about it--whatever 'it' happens to be . . .
